Suse, that's a gorgeous story, thankyou for sharing it.
I like you would have been fascinated with watching all the gory details, I always have to look when things are being done to me! You got to see your son being born! That's awesome.

I really respect that while your birth experience had its downfalls, you have shown nothing but positivity in the telling of your story. Thanks for letting us know that unexpected events during labour need not be totally traumatic and there is a brightside, a beautiful healthy baby (even with a cone head!)

I love what you said about Euan having not much to rebel against when he's a teenager! Same with me & my DH - I guess I dont care what my baby turns out to be as long as he/she?? is happy. Green hair and all....
